Compact, lightweight and made for one bike

The Thule VeloLite is a lightweight 1-bike towbar platform rack designed for riders who don’t need the size or weight of a full multi-bike carrier. At just 9.5kg, it’s easy to handle, mount and store, while the folding platform keeps its footprint small when it’s not in use.

Easy loading for everyday bikes

Independent bike arms with pivoting heads suit a wide range of frame shapes and sizes from 20–90mm, while adjustable wheel holders and pump-buckle straps secure bikes with tyres up to 3" wide. It works with wheel sizes from 16–29" and wheelbases up to 1250mm, making it suitable for everything from commuters and gravel bikes through to modern mountain bikes. 

Simple, low-profile design

Unlike the tilting OutPace, the VeloLite uses a fixed platform to keep weight and complexity down. With no bike loaded, its low-profile design still allows access to the vehicle’s boot without removing the carrier. Integrated rear lights and a number plate holder make it a tidy, road-ready option for everyday use.

Will this rack cover your number plate?

If the rack or your bikes obscure the vehicle’s registration plate, you may need an official supplementary plate. This can apply even when the rack is fitted without bikes.
